Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A dry cough is very common with a change of weather and is often prolonged. It often causes a lot of discomfort, especially in the throat. It can also be associated with seasonal allergies.

You will be needing an expectorant along with a drug from the bronchodilator group for dilation of the bronchioles and easy expectoration of mucus.

I suggest Syrup Mexair, which contains Terbutaline (bronchodilator) and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Other than that, I would suggest you do steam inhalation twice a day.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
